  THE MEDICI DAGGER sweeps readers up in an intriguing intellectual puzzle that delivers shattering suspense with the velocity of a 9mm bullet in this high-speed epic. A plane goes down in the Atlantic, taking with it a page from the journals of Leornardo da Vinci. Meanwhile, in Georgetown, the home of a museum curator is burned to the ground. Only a young boy named Reb survives. Twenty years later: Hollywood stuntman Reb Barnett is an art-loving, adrenaline-addicted daredevil on the run from his dreams. Then a phone call abruptly rips him from his familiar world of movie illusion and beckons him to Italy. There, Reb embarks on a quest for Leornardo's elusive Circles of Truth: an ancient puzzle whose codes lead to the hidden Medici Dagger, a weapon of mysteriously powerful alloy, coveted the world over. To Reb, the dagger is his only link to the truth about his parents' death. But finding the puzzle is only the first step. Breaking its code means matching wits with the towering intellect of Leonardo himself. And staying alive means keeping one jump ahead of a shadowy adversary: the killer who made Reb an orphan - and now wants him dead.
